Electrical terminal, system and associated methods

A system comprising a thin support, an electrical circuit disposed on the thin support, an electrical terminal for electrically connecting a cable to the electrical circuit, the electrical terminal comprising:

• a connection part comprising a center-pin, and a surrounding metallic ring;
• and
• a base part comprising a dielectric substrate having a top surface and a bottom surface, a ring metallic pad electrically connected to the surrounding metallic ring, and a pin metallic pad electrically connected to the center-pin and electrically isolated from the ring metallic pad;
• the ring metallic pad and the pin metallic pad been disposed on the bottom surface;
• the connection part disposed on the top surface of the base part and extending substantially perpendicular to the top surface,
• wherein the base part further comprises a ring penetration means penetrating through the thin support, and
• wherein the dielectric substrate and the ring penetration means are not coplanar.

A method for connecting a cable to an electrical circuit for electrically connecting a cable to an electrical circuit disposed on a thin support with an electrical terminal,

• wherein the electrical terminal comprises:
• a connection part comprising a center-pin, and a surrounding metallic ring, and
• a base part comprising a dielectric substrate having a top surface and a bottom surface, a ring metallic pad electrically connected to the surrounding metallic ring, and a pin metallic pad electrically connected to the center-pin and electrically isolated from the ring metallic pad;
• the ring metallic pad and the pin metallic pad disposed on the bottom surface;
• and the connection part been disposed on the top surface of the base part and is extending substantially perpendicular to the top surface,
• wherein the base part further comprises a ring penetration means designed to penetrate through the thin support,
• wherein the dielectric substrate and the ring penetration means are not coplanar,
• the method comprising pressing the electrical terminal to let the ring penetration means penetrate through the thin support over the electrical circuit to electrically connect the center-pin and the surrounding metallic ring to the electrical circuit.
